Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - By the Light of Dawn - full transcript

Previously on Shadowhunters...

If ever demons
overtook the world...

As a last resort, the soul-sword

will destroy every
downworlder in its path.

The angel Ithuriel.

Valentine was going to use him
to activate the soul-sword.

Clary may have a blood
connection to that angel.

Clary can activate
the soul-sword.

If killing Clary is the price,
then I'm willing to pay it.

Who else knows what
she's capable of?

Meliorn.



Execute Clary
Fairchild on sight.

Care to rethink that?

This counsel is biased.

You've been seeing
Isabelle, haven't you?

Something weird's
going on, Alec.

We have reports of violent
downworlders all over Manhattan.

Aldertree dispatched every shadowhunter
we have to stop the attacks.

Well, undispatch them. I
think it's Valentine.

If you help me, I promise
to help you find your Nana.

Clary, run!

Sweetheart, it's time to go.

I'll see you soon, Clarissa.

Simon, no!

I thought these wards
were airtight.



How many soldiers are here?
Only two dozen.

Everyone else is out dealing
with the downworld attacks.

I'll take the entry
with Longford.

We'll cover the weapons room.

Valentine's work?

Only one way to find out.

Hold your fire.

What's a little girl
doing here all alone?

She's a warlock.

Madzie.

Did you...

Hold your fire. She's a kid.

Madzie!

Who is my favorite
little warlock?

Clary, we can't panic.

He's a psychopath. He's
capable of anything.

Simon is innocent,
in all of this.

The only reason Valentine took him
captive is because I care about him.

Hey. All the prisoners
are either dead or gone.

No sign of Cleophas.

Hey, it's gonna be okay.

Answer it, Clary.

No.

Hello, Clarissa.

Wish we were chatting under
more civilized circumstances,

but I'm afraid I've
run out of options.

Let Simon go. Absolutely.

Just as soon as you come
back to the institute.

I need you to activate
the sword for me.

That is never going to happen.

Oh, but I think it will.

Because if you don't show
up within the hour...

Your vampire boyfriend
here is gonna die

a death I wouldn't
wish upon anyone.

Clary.

What are we waiting for?
Let's go.

You know that if you
touch that sword,

he can destroy the
entire downworld,

including Simon.

No, Valentine needs
an energy source.

He needs lightning.

He's got it.

Every institute is powered
by an angelic power core.

Alec's not picking up.
Let's move.

Valentine is gonna
wish he never laid

a hand on Simon. I'll
make sure of it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're not going
anywhere near that institute.

We're taking you to Magnus.
He can protect you.

No, I don't need to be protected.
I need to save Simon.

The downworld knows
that you're the key

to activating that sword.
They want you dead.

I can save Simon.

Doesn't work that way.

If I'm not the one who shows up,

Valentine is gonna kill him.

Wait!

Dot?

There's another way
to destroy the sword.

There you go.

You'll start feeling
better in no time.

Thank you.

Dot, tell us
everything you know.

I heard Valentine
briefing his men.

If Jace touches the sword,
his grip would destroy it.

Me?

Why should we believe
a word she says?

It's probably just another trap.

Luke, Clary, you know me.

You've lied to me before.

Because of the injections.

But now that he has
the warlock girl,

he's cast me aside.
I'm myself again.

Good story, but
I've heard better.

Wait, in the vision
from Ithuriel,

the demon that destroyed the
sword had a clawed hand.

Exactly. It has nothing
to do with you.

Perhaps I can lend some insight.

Show me this vision.

The star in the sky.

Yeah, I remember.

Angels are higher beings. They
communicate through metaphors.

Morgenstern means
"morning star,"

as in, "how are thou
fallen from heaven",

"O, Lucifer, son
of the morning."

The vision seems to
be speaking of a...

Demonic morgenstern.

Me.

That's why Valentine wanted
me under his control.

I can derail his plan.

I can destroy the soul-sword.

And destroy yourself
in the process.

No.

That's a suicide mission.
No way.

Oh, says the girl who
was willing to die

for the downworld,
what, yesterday?

She's right, Jace.
It's too dangerous.

I'm not gonna touch the sword.

I'll just get to it
before it's activated,

and bring the mortal
instrument back to the clave,

where it belongs.

Trust me.

Alec just doesn't know
when to leave me alone.

He never has.

Your brother has nothing
to worry about, Isabelle.

Your happiness, your well-being,

it's all I care about.

Sounds like shadowhunter
blood talking.

It's true.

I haven't felt this way about anyone in...
a long, long time.

Kiss me.

It's not like that.

I'm... not like that.

I'm just not interested in sex.

Being a vampire
made you this way?

No.

I've always been like this.

It's probably just Alec.

Could you please turn it off?

Sorry, I just saw the time.

I have a meeting with
the Bronx clan leader.

Don't worry, I'll be back.

Bite for the road?

No, thanks.

I need to keep a clear head.

I'll see you soon.

Alec, are you okay?

We're under attack.
Major casualties.

Valentine used madzie
to take down the wards.

She suffocated everyone.
Where's Izzy?

She wasn't here.

Oh, thank the angel.

Alec, he's there to use the power
core instead of lightning.

He's got Simon and he's
threatening to kill him

if Clary doesn't come
and activate the sword.

You have to keep Clary
away from that sword.

Don't worry. She's with Magnus.

Luke and I are
coming for it now.

Just get to the power core.
Shut it down.

That way, no matter who touches
the sword, it won't turn on.

Alec? Alec?

That's not bad. For a diplomat.

Well, it seems Clarissa
needs more incentive.

No.

What she needs is a real father.

Look, I've been best friends
with Clary forever.

And the one thing
she's always wished

is to be able to
know her real dad.

And she's had that chance.

And she found a
homicidal maniac.

She wants nothing
to do with you.

She hates you.

Doesn't that bother you?

Doesn't it make
you wanna change?

For her?

I'm not used to feeling so...

Powerless.

Oh, my god! Simon, are you okay?

Simon's fine.

We've just been
having a nice talk.

You know, he told me
your greatest wish

was to get to know your old man,

which is funny, because
it's always been

my wish to get to
know my daughter.

And so, I'm here, and
I'm waiting for you.

And frankly, well...

Clarissa, I'm
losing my Patience.

The vampire has a half-hour,
maybe 40 minutes,

before he turns to dust.

Come quick, Clarissa.

He needs blood to survive.

Portal me to the institute.

Clary, we can't.

Now!

Looks like he's already
tapping the energy supply.

We need to get to that power
core and shut it down.

It'll be heavily guarded.

We'll get to it via the rooftop.

Hell if I'm gonna let that bastard
destroy the entire downworld.

What, suddenly you care
about the downworld?

I'm an officer of the clave,

sworn to protect downworlders
and mundanes alike.

Right. I'm not the big
bad wolf you think I am.

No, you're worse.

You got my sister
hooked on yin fen.

I warned her, Alec.
Told her of the risks.

But she wanted to
visit the citadel.

The yin fen allowed
her to do that.

I was doing her a favor.

Are you kidding me?

Look, you might've
helped me back there,

but don't pretend you're
one of the good guys.

You're a cop. Can't
you drive any faster?

You wanna drive? I'm sorry.

I... I just... I
have to get to Alec.

I know what you're going through.
I had a parabatai once.

When Valentine turned on you,
that must've been unbearable.

It was.

I felt like my life was over.

But, over time, I got past it.

Alec's gonna be okay.

He has to be.

What the hell is she doing here?

You locked me up in the dark?

Where did you come from?

I was watching, waiting
for my chance.

But I couldn't wait any longer.

Jace, put the blade away.
This is between me and Maia.

Are you sure? She's
out of control.

So true.

Let go! Get off of me!

No, Maia, put this
in perspective.

The fate of the entire
downworld is at stake.

Who's lost perspective? Who protects
Shadowhunters over their own pack?

She won't be down for long.
Help me get her in the car.

No. We have to get
back to the institute.

I can't just leave her here.

What do we do if she
wolfs out again?

That's what the stun gun's for.

Well, here we are.

Magnus...

I want you to know I'm not going
anywhere near that sword.

I don't care what
happens to me, Clary.

Alec's gonna be okay.
Simon's gonna be okay.

We can do this. You and me.

Let go of my hands!

So you can use your
magic against us?

I'm sorry, Magnus.

None of us wanted
it to come to this.

No, I'm here to save Simon. I'm
not going to touch the sword.

No, you're not.

Stop this. Stop it now!

If I don't do it, more downworlders
are on their way to do it for me.

You're too close to her, Magnus.

Raphael, you don't
have to do this.

Quick and painless.

Listen up!

You better be right
about this, Luke.

Clary may be able to activate the
sword, but I can destroy it.

The angel Ithuriel confirmed
that in a vision.

Angel? Impossible.

I saw it, too. He's
telling the truth.

You kill Clary, Valentine
still has the damn sword.

Over time, no doubt, he'll
find a way to activate it.

Now is our chance to destroy
that sword for good.

Why not let Jace try?

Why would a shadowhunter
risk his life for us?

Because you and Raphael are gonna
tell your downworld buddies

not to lay a hand on Clary.

That's the deal.

And they'll listen to me? Maybe.

You're the leader of
the most powerful

vampire clan in all of New York.

They respect you.

What exactly is your plan?

Clary.

She'll know it's a trap.

Even the sly mouse
will walk into a trap

if it wants the
cheese badly enough.

And you, my friend,
you're the cheese.

Hey! Hi.

Oh, don't worry, little one.

It's only a game. It's
make believe, okay?

Take her upstairs.

And don't let anyone in
unless her name is Clary.

The power core's up here on the
roof, behind this access hatch.

Unfortunately, it's impervious
to the unlock rune.

You're the head
of the institute.

You telling me you
don't have a key?

I do, in my office.

Where Valentine is.

I'll have to override
the control mechanism.

That's impossible.

Not when you have my
security clearance,

and know the
backdoor algorithms.

I think you wouldn't mind if
the downworld was destroyed.

Certainly make your job easier.

My relationship to the downworld

is more complicated
than you think.

How's that?

Years ago, when I was still making my
way up through the ranks of the clave,

I fell in love with a woman.

Beautiful and intelligent. Sexy.

And a lycanthrope.

You fell in love
with a downworlder?

Seems odd, doesn't it?

But Eva was special.

After a year together, I was
called to Alicante for a summit.

When I returned, I
went to see her

and found the aftermath
of a massacre.

A shax demon.

I discovered Eva hiding
in the basement.

She was in shock,
driven mad by grief.

She couldn't control
herself, so she transformed.

And attacked me.

She would have killed me if I
hadn't used my seraph blade.

Eva died in my arms.

You killed her?

I had no choice.

Eva couldn't control herself.

That was her nature.
Her wolf nature.

That's when I realized
a shadowhunter

could never be with
a downworlder,

no matter how strong
our feelings might be.

Tell Valentine I'm here.

Hello, my dear.

Where's Simon? Before I do anything,
I need to know he's alive.

But I'm afraid you may
have waited too long.

Where is he?

You made the right
decision, joining us.

We need to be united
now more than ever.

Just to be clear, I'm doing
this for the pack, not for you.

You think I wanted
to do that to you?

When the pack had no other
options, you chose Clary over us.

But we did have other options.

Jace's plan is gonna work, Maia.

If we stick together,
it will work.

Do you really believe that?

Meliorn, I'm glad you're
fighting beside us.

It is my honor.

Though if you are mistaken,
which I fear you might be,

I will never forgive you.

Appreciate the confidence.

Thanks for bringing the pack. We're
gonna need all the help we can get.

I'm not gonna lie. It
took some convincing.

Some of them aren't too
keen on this idea.

Neither am I, to be honest.

Then why are you here?

I trust you.

Simon, hold on, okay?

Stay with me, Simon.

Simon, please.

Come on, come on, Simon.

Simon, drink.

Come on. It's okay, feed.

Careful, Clarissa.

He's drinking too much.

Stop him! Stop him!

On the video call, Simon was in
Aldertree's office. This way.

Careful, Clary. Circle
members could be anywhere.

It's madzie.

Go get her. I'll find Simon.

Are you sure?

She's being used, Magnus.

None of this is her fault,
but she needs to be stopped.

I'll meet you in
Aldertree's office.

Okay.

Hello, sweet pea.

I'm Magnus.

I know you're scared.

You don't have to be.

See? I'm just like you, madzie.
I'm a warlock, too.

These men are using you
for your abilities.

He said Nana was here.

He lied.

I wanna help you, madzie.

For real.

Shape-shifting, huh?

Well, that's original.

I learned from the best.

No, you didn't.

I would never willingly let
a vampire taste my blood.

Do you have any idea
what you've done?

I saved a life.

A monster's life.

And for what?

He's just gonna die with the
rest of the downworld, anyway.

Here! We have to destroy the sword.
Come on.

Nice moves back there.

Thanks, I've been practicing.

Hey, let go!

Let go!

It's not working.

The bypass must not apply
to exterior access points.

Four against two.

Could be worse.

Izzy!

Izzy, are you okay?

I got you. You okay?

I'm so sorry, Alec.

For what, saving our lives?

Hey, about, you know, what
happened back there...

I've heard of blood
thirst, even felt it,

but never that badly.

Once I started feeding, I couldn't stop.
I'm really sorry.

Don't apologize.

I would have killed you.

I would have let you.

You, like, rescued me
from actual death,

so thanks. A lot.

Hey, you know how
you can thank me?

Shut up. Right.

Looks like they have the sword
tapped into that power thing.

Not for long.

Hey.

You know how to use that?

Yeah, just point
and stab, right?

Use your vamp speed.

Obviously.

As soon as we get
back up, we move in.

It might be too late for that.

No! Let me go!

No.

You can't make me do this.
I won't do it!

Unfortunately, you don't
get to decide that.

I am doing this for you,

and for your brother, and
for the rest of humanity.

Clarissa, this planet is under
siege by demon-blooded creatures,

intent on death and destruction.

Once I wield that sword,

the downworld will no longer
be part of our world.

And the lives of my children

will be that much safer.

Let go! Let go!

No! No! No!

Clarissa, please.

Let's move.

Luke!

Clary, you all right?

I'm fine. Let's go.

Jace... what...

Jace, what are you doing?

Jace!

Don't.

If you touch the
sword, it'll kill you.

Jace, don't do it! No, Jace!

Why didn't that
destroy the sword?

I don't know.

Jace, are you okay?

You're nothing if not
predictable, son.

Plus, get the amazing new iPhone 7 on us.
Oh, my god.

Simon, you're okay.

How?

Every other downworlder
in here, they...

They're all dead.

I don't know.

I just pray the Adamas in the
walls contained the blast.

Where's Valentine?

He's gone.

Jace.

I don't understand.

How did I activate the sword?

Only someone with pure angel
blood could have done it.

You don't have
demon blood, Jace.

No.

You did this.

You activated the sword?

No.

I did it.

I thought I was destroying
it, Alec, but...

Where's Magnus?

He wasn't here, was he?

I... I don't know.

We portaled in upstairs.
We split up. I...

Oh, god.

Alec.

It was all a con.

He lied to us.

You don't know that.

Alaric, Taito... Half of
our pack must be dead.

Jace led us into a trap.

He wouldn't do that. It had
to have been Valentine.

Well, he has the sword now, which
means he could do it again.

I'm taking him down.

Maia, the pack needs you.
Go back to the Jade wolf.

Keep what's left of
the pack indoors.

Take them underground.
I'll deal with Valentine.

My parabatai.

If only you had stuck with me, maybe
things would have turned out differently.

I always thought this
moment would bring me joy.

But I was wrong.

Liar!

You told me I had demon blood.
Why?

Because that's how you are.
Always ready to right the wrong,

to stand up for those who can't
stand up for themselves.

A real-life hero.

So, you used me.

I just made sure
dot overheard me.

That's why I left her behind, so
you would come to save the day.

And activate the sword instead.

You didn't inject me with demon blood.
It was angel blood.

You are my greatest
achievement, Jace.

I'm not your achievement.
I'm your son.

No, you are not my son.

I'm not your father. Jocelyn
is not your mother.

And Clary...

Clary is not your sister.

More lies.

Don't I wish.

Truth sword, remember?

Please let this work.

Jace, don't!

The mortal cup is
still out there.

He's the only one who
knows where it is.

You're gonna wish you were dead

after the clave gets
through with you.

Jace.

The sword's gone.

A sight to see.

Valentine morgenstern in
the custody of the clave,

where you will rot for
your remaining days.

Where is the soul-sword?

I have no idea.

Our interrogation
techniques have

improved since you
were one of us.

You can torture me all you want.
I don't know where it is.

Don't believe a word he says.

What else have you lied about?

One thing I didn't lie about

is my love for you, Jace.

Magnus, I thought...

I found madzie.

I got her out just in time. I took
her to Catarina's. She's safe.

Look...

Magnus, on every mission
I've ever been on,

I've never felt that
type of fear, ever.

Not knowing if you were
alive or dead. I...

I was terrified.

So was I.

Magnus...

I love you.

I love you, too.

Alaric.

Oh, man.

You didn't make
things easy on me.

But you didn't deserve this.

What the hell?

Isabelle.

You're alive.

I sped out just in time.

I've come to gather
what's left of my clan

and see if you needed anything.

No.

Isabelle, please.
I can explain...

No, you can't.

I don't want anything
from you ever again.

How do you know
it was the truth?

He had the soul-sword
in his hands.

So...

Clary's not your sister?

No, she never was.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna tell her.

Luke.

Tell me we got him.

Yeah.

How are you feeling?

Better now that you're okay
and Valentine's locked up.

Oh, no. Luke, are you okay?

He's been sedated.

Clary...

I know it's not a good time, but
there's something I have to show you.

Simon, will you tell
me what's going on?

It's a surprise.

What are you doing? The
sun's up, you can't...

Wait. Simon!

How?

I mean, does it matter?
